Dear Juno or any other teenage parent in this situation,
It’s time for you to take responsibility for your actions. Unfortunately, the mistake you made could have been prevented with a little bit of planning. I don’t have an opinion about what activities you take part of in you personal life because quite frankly I don’t care, and it is none of my business.
However I do care about how you handle the situation after the fact. First, you need to realize that you made a really big mistake by not planning ahead before having sex. You should have realized that sex leads to the formation of a new life and if you don’t use any kind of birth control your chances of becoming pregnant increase exponentially. Being bored is also a stupid reason to decide that you want to have sex. Next time you're bored do something constructive instead of being dumb.
Furthermore, now that you are pregnant you have to make the decision of whether or not to take the baby to term. I however don’t have an answer for you when it comes to this. I can advise you that under the fourteenth amendment of the United States Constitution you have the right to choose whether or not you want to abort the child. Furthermore, under Roe v. Wade, you have the right to privacy under the due the process clause of the fourteenth amendment.
I understand that the decision you are going to make is very difficult. But I do ask that you give this a lot of thought because you could either bring another human life into this world or take one away. I do understand that as a sixteen year old in high school you will not make a good parent because you are still a kid yourself and are incapable of making good decisions(as we have seen previously by your actions). I consider myself to be a very mature seventeen year old but I would not make a good parent because I still am learning how to be an adult. Parenthood is not an easy thing and my own parents would definitely agree with that. It is challenging enough to raise a kid when you’re thirty but even more of a challenge when you’re half that age. I could not imagine being a parent at my age. It would ruin my life and prevent me from achieving my career goals.
Now it is up to you to decide what you want to do. Everything you do has a consequence whether it is intended or not. You got what you deserved by not preplanning and acting like an immature child. Since you want to engage in these adult activities it’s time for you to grow up. Welcome to adulthood.
